'''8-Ball''' is a firearms and explosives specialist who appears in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and owns three bomb shops throughout [[Liberty City]].  In Grand Theft Auto III, 8-Ball meets [[Claude]] shortly after the beginning of the storyline, when he and Claude escape from a [[Liberty City Police Department|police]] convoy.  As a token of his appreciation, 8-Ball introduces Claude to [[Luigi Goterelli]], an old friend of his, for work.  8-Ball seems to be the closest thing Claude has to a friend throughout the game.  This friendship later comes into question.

After this, 8-Ball is not seen for the rest of the game.


8-Ball can be seen with both hands bandaged from an injury during his appearances, leaving Claude to do most of the more intensive work (such as driving and shooting) when 8-Ball accompanies him.  8-Ball is believed to have sustained scaldings from hot fat accidentally poured onto his hands, during a scuffle with the police in a raid at his home, before he was arrested.  However, in Grand Theft Auto Advance it is said that 8-Ball was ambushed with the game's [[protagonist]], [[Mike]], by the [[Colombian Cartel]], in which they were predominantly using flamethrowers, resulting in the burning of 8-Balls hands, and then his subsequent arrest by the police as they raided his workshop.
